Apple Watch Order status and shipping update - Check In

[Dave Marsh]

Our orders posted at 00:07 AM PDT on April 10th.

My spouse's 42mm SS w/Black Sport Band arrived on Tuesday, May 5th.

My 42mm SS w/link bracelet still in Processing mode.

Both orders had delivery estimates of May 13-27.

Just got charged for this watch! Still shows 'Processing' on Apple Store website. I'm hoping I get it tomorrow so I can give it to her for Mother's Day.

Edit: 11:13 PM - Just changed to 'Preparing For Shipment'.

Since it ships next day do you think they will do Saturday delivery?

I got one for my mom for Mother's Day and her original ship quote was 4-6 week. I only just ordered it 4/28. The only draw back is now she said she needs a different band...hates the sport strap and she needs Bluetooth ear buds.

Still patiently waiting for mine. I know a lot of people say they incessantly check there order status. I check before bed and when I wake up. But I check this board too many times a day every time I see someone update there status I feel a bit closer to getting my watch

Wow congratulations!! Someone else who ordered the same model on the same day as you (24) and in the U.S. Had Theirs prepare to ship at around midnight. Hoping I'm not far behind!!!

Those who had text notification set up, did you receive a text for preparing to ship?

I asked for all the text and e mail notifications but only got an e mail when it was dispatched! didn't receive any texts even at dispatch point, but I did get a notification from the Apple Store with the dispatch.

I'm surprised the F5 key still works on my computer I've pressed it that much for the last 2 weeks!

My credit card has been charged and my account says "preparing for dispatch" (UK) do you think it might change to dispatched today?

Most likely

 

[Jadeylou]

How exciting! I hope so

 

[MichaelTroy]

Looks like another day or weekend of waiting for me. I was so hopeful. Oh well.

Yes, it normally only takes a few hours to change to dispatched (mine was 4 hours) but I don't think they deliver on a Saturday. Good news is you will have your watch first thing Monday morning.

 

[Jadeylou]

Thank you! That's really helpful! Fingers crossed

I got messages that came in as alerts from the Apple Store app on my iPhone.

They were cute 1 said "Today is the day. Items from order xx should arrive today. And then after it was delivered "items in order xx were delivered. We hope you enjoy them."

Another plane has just landed in KY. Not expecting, but hoping for a notification.

After all of this, know what my biggest question is? Isn't it ridiculous that you have to enter in your password every time within the Apple Store app to check the status of your order? Why wouldn't Touch ID be enabled here? My most burning question after this whole release-gate scandal!

That is a great observation and question!
